Hi All,
just reading a book by stephen Leather called hard landing, to my surprise a character described as a shady ex-special forces type with a handle bar moustache has been called in from a job in the ukraine teaching SWAT teams, he goes by the name jimbo shortt.

To my amusement i immediately thought of ARRSE, i have recently read (for about the 4th time) the ARRSEPEDIA entries about the characters namesake and always find it amusing, it this not a bit of a coincidence?

just in case nobody gives a shite ive called a taxi and am just getting my coat

I'm reading a series of Stephen Leather books, all to do with an ex trooper called 'Spider' Shepherd, jimbo Shortt appears in several of them though not a throbber like the other one. The books are quite entertaining.

I reckon it must be more than a coinkydenky so come on Stephen, own up, you are on ARRSE aren't you???
